Season One (Syndication)

Season One began airing in the United
States on September
7th, 1998. The season ran for 52 episodes.

The first 40 episodes of the season premiered in syndication,
meaning that the network they aired on was different depending on the
city. For some people, Pokémon
aired on their local Fox affiliate. For others, UPN or Kids'
WB!

The batch of episodes dubbed for syndication omitted three episodes;
Episode 018, "Holiday at Aopulco," Episode 035, "The Legend of
Miniryuu," and Episode 038, "Electric Soldier Porygon." The
eighteenth episode was eventually dubbed and aired as a "lost episode,"
but it is not recognized as being a part of any season.

After the initial 40
episodes aired, Kids' WB! picked up the rights to air the show
exclusively on their network. On February 13th, 1999, the
remaining twelve episodes of the season began premiering on Kids' WB!

The episodes
"Princess Versus Princess" and "The Purr-fect Hero" were
skipped during this time and aired as the first two episodes of Season
Two.

Season Two began airing in the United
States on September
4th, 1999. The season originally ran for 52 episodes but is now
being officially listed as 51 episodes because of the removal of
"Holiday Hi-Jynx" in early 2014.

The first 26 (27) episodes of the season finish out the Indigo League
storyline, and the remaining 23 (25) episodes begin the Orange Islands
adventures.
